               Any person who is the owner, or agent of the owner, of any land located within the
               county's mainland jurisdiction, and who subdivides his land in violation of this chapter
               or transfers or sells land by reference to, exhibition of, or makes any other use
               of a plat showing a subdivision of land before the plat has been properly approved
               under this chapter and recorded in the office of the county register of deeds, is
               guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be subject to a fine of up to $500.00. The description
               by metes and bounds in the instrument of transfer or other document used in the process
               of selling or transferring land does not exempt the transaction from this penalty.
               The county, through its attorney or other official designated by the board, may enjoin
               the illegal subdivision, transfer, or sale of land by an action for an injunction
               or an order of abatement.
